Ah, that brings back memories of brushing our Norwegian Elkhound, Shannon, many years ago and how every summer she shed another dog from her coat. She looked just like Antare in that first picture. And his eyes definitely say he's a tad ticked in that last picture! But he does look more spiffy.

My goodness, Antare! I'm sorry you weren't happy about the brushing but I'm glad your loving mom was able to help you get rid of some of your heavy winter coat. You do look ticked in the last picture, though.
